Sniper Elite (2005) on Steam Deck.

The granddaddy of the series. Not terrible, not amazing—just a rough draft of what came later. The graphics? Yeah, they’ve aged about as well as milk in the sun.

And please, don’t touch that 16:9 switch. All it does is turn your sniper into Stretch Armstrong. Keep it classic 4:3 and you’ll thank me later.

    I bought the entire series when it was featured in a Humble Bundle. They never really got the hang of the AI. The original has omniscient AI where the whole map instantly knows exactly where you are if you mess up a kill. The enemies in later games are deaf, dumb, and blind. You can run up behind an enemy and stab them to death before they notice you. Nearby enemies will come investigate, find the dead body, duck down behind the nearest cover for 60 seconds, and then go back to their routine patrol like nothing happened. Even better in the assassinate Hitler missions because they’ll all go back to their routine patrols while the Führer’s body is just laying there.
